Mr. Samuel Ofosu Ampofo

Go slow on Montie 3 - Ofosu Ampofo begs Judges
First Vice National Chairman of the National
Democratic Congress (NDC), Samuel Ofosu Ampofo has
appealed to the Supreme Court Judges to "go slow"
on the Montie FM contemnors.

The trio at the centre of the contempt suit,
Salifu Maase alias Mugabe, Alistair Tahiru Nelson
and Godwin Ako-Gunn have erred but as they await
their sentencing; Mr. Ofosu Ampofo believed the
Judges would be merciful towards them.

Adding his voice to numerous calls on the Judges
to temper justice with mercy, he referred to the
dictum that says "what's good for the goose is
good for the gander"; connoting that some people
were not imprisoned while others were given
lighter sentences though they equally made
contemptuous remarks about Ghana's judicial
system.

Mr. Ofosu Ampofo's plea comes on the heels of
Monday's court ruling in which the contemnors were
convicted for scandalizing the court, defying and
lowering the authority of the court, and bringing
it into disrepute.

The culprits await a final verdict on Wednesday,
July 27.

Samuel Ofosu Ampofo opined on 'Kokrokoo' that
"even though they have convicted them and
they’re awaiting sentencing, I will also add my
plea to the numerous pleas going on that they must
temper justice with mercy and go slow on these
guys because I believe it’s a lesson for
everyone.”
